Heard great things from our friends so decided to give a try.
First impression the place looked cool, love the look and feel of the restaurant. We had to wait close to an hour when there were only 2 small parties ahead of us which was frustrating. To add to the frustration of waiting they don't have anywhere for you to sit while you wait so you're kind of just stuck walking or standing around til they call you.
The hostess was slow. When she finally told us she'd clean off a spot at the bar for us to sit, that took her another 10 minutes.
Our server came (not promptly) and we ordered a dozen oysters and the hush puppies to start. Hush puppies not worth the money, come with a bland sauce, nothing special. Then never saw our waiter again. We ordered the ribeye dish from the busser that kept passing by. That dish was AMAZING and probably the only reason I'm giving this review 3 stars. Meat cooked perfect, the sauce on top was awesome, and came with really yummy waffle fries.
We sat and waited around about 20 more minutes after our meal was finished. As the hostess passed us, I asked for her help getting the bill. She then walked around aimlessly for 10-15 more minutes, never told our waiter we wanted our bill... Let's just say by the time he FINALLY realized we still existed we were more than ready to get out of there. We realized why it took so long to get seated... Because they take so long to take care of the guests that already have a seat.
Disappointed because they have an awesome menu and awesome food and really cool vibe... Decor, music... But the service was just terrible.
Fortunately this is something they can fix easily and this place would be an awesome spot we'd love to come back to if the staff were ever replaced or retrained.
